Somewhere underneath a moonlit night lies an underworld that some may not believe exists.

The creatures of this alternate plain lurk beyond the mist.

Searching.

Hungry.

Craving for what they need.

Some may find it. Some might even curb that hunger. But a few will not.

Without knowing what it is they need to satisfy a primal need, they seek out something more. Something that will test their limits in search of something greater. Something powerful… Something everlasting.

Christmas is a time for rekindling love in five new historical romance novellas.

Immerse yourself in the romance, snow-covered landscapes, and blazing hearths of a heart-warming, sensual, Regency Christmas.

This is feel-good reading at its best: happily ever after for you and help for women in need.
